Hi. My name is John and I am really a fairly quiet, mild mannered guy. But I do have a few strong opinions, and I may try to stir things up just a little with some political and social commentary. My goal is simple: To get you to think about what is good, right, wholesome, wise, helpful, and worthy.

I know by now that I should not be surprised by the totally wacky things that some media folks and politicians say. If you could believe those I am referring to, Sarah Palin's daughter gave birth to a Down syndrome child when she was about one month along in her current pregnancy. Now that would be an interesting new twist in biology! In addition to the fact that Down syndrome occurs most frequently in women in their 40's and would be rare for a 17-year-old, any person who has made through junior high school knows a woman can't be one month pregnant with a new child at the same time she is giving birth to her previous child!

Oh well, I am reasonably confident that most people will hear such things a dismiss them as the strange rantings of idiots.
